M.N. Spear Memorial Library: A Little Helps A Lot

If you haven't run across it yet (I've seen it linked in a bunch of places the last couple of days), the M.N. Spear Memorial Library in Shutesbury, MA has an adorable YouTube video that highlights their current campaign to raise money for a new facility. Click here to view it. The ukulele music sets the tone, and if the little girl at minute 1:27 doesn't make you saw, "Aw!", I don't know what will.

The current Shutesbury library is 100+ years old, 900 square feet, and has no running water. If $1.4 million dollars can be raised by June 30, state funding will kick in 60% funding for a new facility.

There are always so many wonderful causes to contribute to, and none of us can help them all. But I think this is a nice opportunity to make a small donation that will have a big impact. If you're interested, follow the links.

Welcome to Jumping The Candlestick!

This is the blog of NYT-bestselling children's book author Deborah Diesen.

On this blog, I run weekly profiles of Michigan or Michigan-related authors. Some are authors of books for grown-ups. Others are authors of books for kids. All are part of the great array of writing talent that Michigan has!

My blog also sometimes features bits of original poetry, the occasional workout DVD review, and other assorted odds and ends.

For more information about my books and appearances, my web site is http://www.deborahdiesen.com/ and I can be reached by email at deborah[at]deborahdiesen[dot]com

Thanks for stopping by!
